1901 Land Lottery, El Reno and Lawton

This list includes individuals who filed for a chance to receive a homestead in the August 1901 land lottery held at the El Reno and Lawton Land Offices. These lottery tickets are presumed to be those who were unsuccessful in gaining a piece of land. Out of the more than 74,000 entries, less than 100 are included in this list.

There is a rich genealogical value because the tickets include the name of the individual filing for the lottery; their last residence; their birth place and if they were naturalized and where, their age, race, weight, height, and where to send the notice if the person was successful in securing a parcel of land. There is a place for the individual to sign the ticket, and the location and date of the signing.
